Upgrade Recruitment Skills Testing

I’m refining our overall HR operations, but right now the pressing priority is to strengthen the skills-testing portion of our strategic recruitment workflow. We already handle job ads, payroll and compliance internally; what I need is a specialist who can design and embed reliable, role-specific assessments that separate top talent from the merely qualified.

Here’s where I am:
• Positions range from entry-level logistics coordinators to mid-level HR generalists.
• We use an ATS (Workday) and video interviewing tools, yet our current skills checks are basic multiple-choice quizzes that don’t predict on-the-job performance.
• Turnaround time between screening and job offer has to remain under three weeks.

What I’m expecting from you:
1. Audit our existing tests and identify validity gaps.
2. Propose or build new assessments—coding challenges, situational judgment tests, Excel mini-tasks, etc.—mapped to the competencies of each role.
3. Integrate the chosen solution into Workday (API or bulk upload), ensuring candidates receive automatic invitations and results feed directly into their profile.
4. Draft clear scoring rubrics so hiring managers can interpret results without guesswork.
5. Deliver a short guide that trains HR staff on administering, interpreting and iterating the tests.

Acceptance criteria
• Each assessment reliably completes in 30 minutes or less with autoscore functionality.
• Pilot run on at least 10 candidates per role shows a measurable spread of scores and correlates with interview feedback.
• All data remains GDPR compliant and exports cleanly to Excel or CSV.

If you’ve implemented similar skills-testing frameworks and can point to proven accuracy improvements, let’s talk timelines and milestones.
